  • Thing is that copywrite did serve a purpose and was for like 20 years before disney got it extended to the nth degree. The idea was the authors had a chance to make money but were expected to be prolific enough to have more writings by the time 20 years was over. I would like to see with patents that once you get one you have a limited time to go to market. Maybe 10 years and if you product is ever not available for purchase (at a cost equivalent to the average cost accounted for inflation or something) you lose the patent so others can produce it. So like stop making an attachment for a product and now anyone can.







  • yeah my thought was like how often is a web search “right”. To me ai search is just another version of search. its like at first searching gave you a list of urls, then it gave you a list of urls with human type names as well to make it more clear what it was, then it started giving back little summaries to give an idea of what each page was saying. now it gives you a summary of many pages. My main complaint is these things should be required to giver references and their answers should pretty much look like a wikipedia page but the little drop down carats or roll overs (although I prefer a drop down myself).








  • someone with far more experience replied to me and he might be better to ask. Im sorta viewing this as like the equivalent of sputnik for what it is and like how long it took to get civilian gps in the 90’s. So like 30 or 40 years. stuff by and large goes faster now so im thinking this may be something utilized by actual space industries if they can get going in the next ten or twenty years. I mean ten is unlikely but never know. Total peanut gallery opinion from me though. I don’t work in the industry im just a science and technology geek.


  • Im not sure then why mars was mentioned in the article. Is the power really limiting though assuming solar panels just for lunar transmission (earth retransmissions) and maybe more not only so that some are active at any point (seems almost better than battery but maybe battery would be better) but also using directed antenna to get info to the points we want to get the information to (so like ones that send info to the lagrange point and others that are more for lunar surface gps). I hope im getting what im thinking across clear enough.


  • I think the plan is to expand it. Put antennas like this at specific points like 6 around the sphere. Im sorta surprised that they don’t use a rover setup to maybe plant them as specific a location as they can. I think the theory is we can use what we have at earth and place beacons around such that you can get more and more exact measurments. Much like gps became more and more accurate. I would expect things put into lagrange points and such to. I mean they will have to do something to get this working out to like mars.



  • interesting. its not just about the moon:

    “LuGRE’s groundbreaking success opens the door for future NASA Artemis missions and other space explorations to use GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signals. This means they can accurately figure out their position, speed, and time without human help. It’s a huge leap forward for navigation systems on the Moon and Mars!”

    this should be pretty huge. think about the various failed landings and such you have seen in the news.:

    “Traditionally, NASA engineers use a combination of onboard sensors and Earth-based tracking signals to track spacecraft. LuGRE’s demonstration shows that GNSS signals can autonomously aid navigation, even at the Moon’s distance.”

    so this really changes space exploration as or more significant to the reusable rocket stages.
